Diantebi Field
Mobile Geospatial Data Collection for Infrastructure Mapping
Diantebi Field is an open-source mobile application designed to record social geospatial data of a country, facilitating data collection for schools, hospitals, and other critical infrastructure in areas with limited connectivity.
The Challenge
Government agencies and development organizations need accurate, up-to-date information about infrastructure like schools, hospitals, and water sources, especially in remote areas. Traditional data collection methods were time-consuming, prone to errors, and difficult to coordinate across multiple field teams. Additionally, limited internet connectivity in many regions made real-time data collection challenging.
Our Solution
We developed Diantebi Field as an open-source mobile application that enables field teams to collect geospatial data about infrastructure even when offline. The app uses the phone's GPS for precise location tagging, allows for structured data collection with validation rules, and includes offline maps for navigation. Once teams return to areas with connectivity, data synchronizes automatically with central databases.
